INTRODUCTION

Sculpt and draw with confidence with the help of 3dtotal's full-skin female reference figure...

Whether you use pencil and paper, paintbrushes, clay, or any form of digital art software, our figures will be invaluable if you want to understand the form and structure of human anatomy. The female full-skin reference figure is a neutrally posed, athletic build female standing at 10.5-inches tall. The size and low price tag make this model a perfect desktop reference, while also maintaining all the detail you'll need.

The figure has been sculpted for 3dtotal by Dan Crossland, printed using a top quality 3D printer by Ownage, and then cast in grey resin to make the variation in the surfaces and directional flow of the skin and forms easy to see and understand.

Of course, there are also our original half-and-half male and female figures – if you haven't grabbed one of these comprehensive desktop references yet! And the rest of our range can be found here.
